Tab-completion is implemented by your shell (bash, most likely), not by
gnome-terminal.

Title:
gnome-terminal is sometimes not adding trailing slash when [Tab] used
Status in bash package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
Steps to reproduce :
$ mkdir test && cd test
$ mkdir target
$ ln -s target backup
$ ls -l
lrwxrwxrwx 1 tomasz tomasz 6 2011-06-03 14:22 backup -> target/
drwxr-xr-x 2 tomasz tomasz 4096 2011-06-03 14:22 target/
Now try:
$ cd ta
$ cd ba
Pressing [Tab] expands "ta" to "target/", while "ba" is only expanded
to "backup" (notice no trailing slash). Although it's consistent with
ls output, it is a bit counterintuitive, as logically both "target"
and "backup" are accessible directories.
What's even more interesting, pressing [Tab] again when "ba" is
already expanded to "backup" will add the trailing slash ("backup/").
Also I noticed xterm behaves exactly the same, so the reason must be
somewhere deeper.
